Experimental Hip-Hop: Ode to the Boy Genius
I come across thousands of articles a day; most just by chance, and as a result of totally implausible network search queries, I uncover some truly mind-blowing pieces in nearly mediums of art, inquisitiveness, sporting, film, music and erotica. This is is one those of those instances. I try as hard as I can to share what I think is relevant or uplifting to most, but I still fail, daily, to post any more than a fraction (1.87%) of all that I actually "like" and find interesting. I try to save as much as I can for the next day, to see if I can recall a time and situation of where / when to feature, but for the most part, I'm inundated with new creative discoveries, which leaves me scrambling to catch up, explore, and what I believe is most important, to share the joy I initially found, with others.
To date: TFP is still really the only place where I share these quirks, ponderances, oddities and topical trivia of interests. I know it's unrealistic to expect to hear from very many of you that you appreciate what I bring forth, but I still keep trying amidst the unresponsiveness. How did this turn into an essay? I just wanted to post a little bit of nerdery, in the form of a neat article I never knew existed. Anyway, skip all of the above if you wish, and vacate into knowledge here: various artists :: Dexter's Laboratory - The Hip-Hop Experiment :: Rhino Records

Oh! I just now realize all those hip-hop artists above weren't just making 1 or 2 line references to this 90s cartoon character on their own volition, (which would be awesome allusions in their own right) but they were actually commissioned to collaborate on an album revolving him, the quirky boy genius.
I was originally looking the 15-30 second bumps this show used to have, but came across this instead, again. I also learned there were some music videos produced that featured this cartoon universe. I'll get on looking for those, too, I suppose.
